Adventures with Ashton

Today I was lucky enough to spend the day with my awesome nephew Ashton :)

He is the older brother of sweet Bennett, so I was excited to spend some one-on-one time with him and let his sweet Mommy Mandy have the day to herself.

Ash is a gregarious little 3 year old, who looooooooovvvvees anything with wheels. Actually, that may be an understatement. While we were out-and-about today, ANY time he saw a truck or large vehicle he'd say,

"CAR!"

or "BIG TRUCK!"

or "FIRE TRUCK! Did you hear the fire truck!?"

Too adorable. We'd talk about what color it was and what kind of people may ride those different vehicles. It got me so excited for when Brooks and I can talk together, especially about cute boyish-things :)

We first went grocery shopping.

Ashton was such a stud and held on to the side of the cart and cruised along with me the whole time.

I remember thinking the same thing when Caleb was little. I was so excited to talk to him about things. I can attest it's even better than I imagined. Knowing what is going on in their cute little heads is magical.

We bought the movie "Cars" for Caleb over Christmas. It is by far his favorite movie. I think it is super cute.

Ashton is a doll. I'm sure it will be such a blessing for him to have your little guy to play with.

What a good sister-in-law you are to give his Mom a break like that. She needs one, thats for sure. You inspire me to be a better person and you must be a good writer because I don't follow blogs but for some reason I seem to be following yours. Thanks!

About Me

My name is Haley and I am lucky enough to be a wife to my best friend, Adam. He's my partner in this adventure of parenthood we're on together. I am "Mama" to our awesome son Brooks and our beautiful daughter Ava. Life is so sweet. And by recording the little moments that make me smile, laugh, cry, get butterflies, have regrets, learn lessons, gain talents, and help me grow, I'll be able to savor those moments more than once. xo
